Q: A Morse Conundrum

ZanyGYesterday, I intercepted a message encoded in Morse code, but, because I was extremely tired, decided to wait until today to decode it to plain text. However, when I looked at the piece of paper I had written it on, I could not make heads nor tail of what I had written. I know that the square is...

Q: Riddle of hot love

문동선 On the upper side, you kiss me. In the middle, your fingers caress my body. And below is the burning flame of hot love. It's definitely not something sexual anyone might be thinking. What am I?

Should we make a Secret Hitler Room?
 
7:36 PM
Go nuts.
 
What's that?
 
It's a lot like Werewolf or Mafia or Coup or The Resistance, or any other number of similar games, but with a few unique aspects.
It sounds like it would be very difficult to play in a chat room, because
1) It requires a lot of setup and secrecy to determine who is who; whoever does this won't be able to play themselves
2) It requires simultaneous voting, which is next-to-impossible to do in a chat room
3) There is a lot of game state to keep track of
#1 and #3 could be solved with a bot (which would probably require quite a bit of work), but I don't know how you could solve #2.
It also requires at least 5 players, and considering how difficult it is to find even 4 players for a chat game, it would probably be played only rarely.
 
Yeah, a lot of our chat game regulars appear to have vanished.
 
8:12 PM
@PotatoLatte Are you aware of secrethitler.io ?
 
@GentlePurpleRain You could solve #2 using asymmetric encryption to sign a vote. Probably not worth the trouble
 
Definitely not worth the trouble.
By best idea was to have the bot pre-assign codes for each round of voting, which are secretly communicated at the start of the game, along with the player's affiliation and identity:
Player 1: Round 1, vote AG for yes, GP for no. Round 2, vote EX for yes, VH for no. etc.
Then when everyone had submitted their votes, you could reveal what they actually meant.
 
your bot could do that and just give each player a bitstring to XOR their votes with on round N; so on round 1, a 0 from player A is "no" if bit 1 is 0 and "yes" if bit 1 is 1, and vice versa
 
Yeah, that would be a bit simpler.

Q: Optimal guess in a game

IgorSuppose that A and B play a strange game. At the beginning of the game A can choose one real number - $x$ - between $0$ and $60$. Each round of the game goes like this: B names random real number $b$ between $0$ and $60$ with uniform probability. If $b > x$ then A pays $3(b - x)$ dollars. If $b <...
